Usefulness of Newly Devised Clomiphene Citrate Administration Method Compared with the Conventional Method in Ovulation and Pregnancy

Objective: Since not all women wish to conceive a child through aggressive treatment, we investigated the usefulness of modified repeated intracyclic clomiphene citrate (CC) therapy (repeated CC therapy) as a newly devised administration method. Methods: We evaluated the effects of CC administration on menstrual cycle length and retrospectively compared ovulation and pregnancy in 220 women who received CC at our hospital. Patients in the conventional method group received 50 mg per day for five days, starting on the fifth day of menstruation (withdrawal bleeding). Groups with and without menstrual cycle shortening after conventional CC administration were compared. The repeated CC therapy group was also compared with the non-shortened group. Repeated CC therapy was administered for the first five days as in the conventional method, and a second five-day repeat treatment was administered after an interval of five to seven days. Pregnancy rates, including indirect pregnancies, were evaluated by three different methods. Results: Ovulation and pregnancy rates were significantly better in the shortened group than in the non-shortened group (P < 0.001 and P = 0.010, respectively). Even in the non-shortened group, ovulation and pregnancy rates including indirect pregnancies were significantly improved when ovulation was observed with repeated CC therapy (P < 0.001 and P = 0.022, respectively). Conclusions: For patients whose menstrual cycle was not improved or shortened, repeated CC therapy as the newly devised CC administration method is useful as the next step after the conventional CC administration method.

Clomiphene Citrate Induces ROS-Mediated Apoptosis in Mammalian Oocytes

The clomiphene citrate (CC), a nonsteroidal triphenylethylene compound, is a first line of medicine used for the induction of ovulation in anovulatory women worldwide. In spite of high ovulation induction with the use of CC, the pregnancy rate is much lower. Such a discrepancy could be due to the peripheral anti-estrogenic effect of CC, particularly at the level of ovary, endometrium and cervical mucus. CC induces ovulation by binding to the estrogen receptors and generates hypoestrogrnic state in hypothalamus leading to release of pituitary gonadotropins. CC may have a direct effect at the level of ovary but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Animal studies suggest that the CC induces apoptosis in granulosa cells and results hypoestrogenic state in the ovary. Reduced estradiol 17β level in the ovary affects development and maturation of oocyte leading to oocyte apoptosis. Further, CC increases hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) level and thereby bax protein expression and DNA fragmentation in cumulus-granulosa cells as well as in oocytes. The exogenous supplementation of either estradiol 17β or melatonin reduces H2O2 level in ovary, delays meiotic cell cycle progression in oocyte and protects oocyte apoptosis. Hence, supplementation of estradiol 17β or melatonin along with CC could be beneficial to protect granulosa cell as well as oocyte apoptosis and inhibit deterioration of oocyte quality. Thus, maintenance of oocyte quality may overcome the adverse effect caused due to CC treatment during infertility management.

Randomized controlled trial of Letrozole versus Clomiphene citrate for induction of ovulation in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS): A Malaysian experience

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Letrozole versus Clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) with infertility. Methods: This was a prospective randomized trial involving 150 women with PCOS attending the Infertility Clinic at three hospitals in Malaysia. During the initial visit, anthropometric measurements and baseline investigations were performed. Patients were randomized to 5.0 mg Letrozole daily (75 patients) or 100 mg Clomiphene citrate daily (75 patients) from the fifth until the ninth day of menstruation. Serial transvaginal scans were performed to see the dominant follicles, endometrial thickness and number of follicles. Transvaginal scans were performed serially to look for evidence of ovulation. Results: The subjects were homogenously distributed. The difference between Letrozole and Clomiphene citrate for ovulation rate was 59 (78.7%) versus 40 (53.3%). Patients taking Letrozole exhibited a mean endometrial thickness (ET) at mid cycle of menses (Day 11-D14) of9.2 mm(SD ± 2.3) versus8.4 mm(SD ± 2.2) for patients taking Clomiphene citrate, and these differences were statistically significant

Simultaneous Letrozole and Clomiphene Citrate versus Letrozole Alone in Clomiphene Citrate Resistant Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common cause of anovulatory infertility. The therapeutic strategies for clomiphene citrate (CC)- resistant patients include the addition of corticosteroids, extended duration of clomiphene, gonadotrophin therapy, laparoscopic ovarian drilling, in vitro fertilization or the use of aromatase inhibitors recently. Letrozole decreases estrogen levels in the body, so it releases the hypothalamus and/or pituitary gland from the negative feedback of estrogen. This increases levels of gonadotrophins, which stimulates follicular growth. Objectives: To evaluate the role of letrozole alone and simultaneous use of letrozole and clomiphene citrate (CC) for ovulation induction in patients with clomiphene citrate-resistant PCOS (CCR-PCOS). Patients and Methods: This open-label randomised controlled study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University, Egypt during the period from February 2018 to June 2019. The study included 60 CCR-PCOS patients who were randomly allocated by independent personnel into two arms: group A (letrozole alone) or B (letrozole + CC). In either group, monitoring the mean follicular diameter and endometrial thickness in the days 10, 12, and 14 of the cycle by transvaginal ultrasound and Measurement of serum Progesterone (ng/ml) 7 days after the expected time of ovulation. Results: We investigated various clinical and sonographic factors that may predict the outcome of the method of induction of ovulation in CCR-PCOS with no significant affection for the results. There was a non-significant difference between the studied groups regarding ovulation and pregnancy per cycle or per patient. Conclusion: Letrozole alone or simultaneous use of letrozole and CC offers a good second-line option for induction of ovulation in CCR-PCOS patients. However, the combination of CC and letrozole did not add any benefit over the use of letrozole alone regards ovulation rate, follicular volume, endometrial thickness, pregnancy rate and live birth rate.

Bilateral Retinal Detachment Secondary to Clomiphene Citrate

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between Clomifene citrate and retinal detachment in particular. Methods: a 42-year-old woman has developed bilateral retinal detachment after three courses of clomiphene citrate. A literature research for bilateral retinal detachment does not include this severe ophthalmologic complication. Conclusion: This is the first reported case of bilateral retinal detachment after treatment with clomiphene citrate. The caution is warranted in treating infertility patients with CC, and patient should be well informed of this side effect before prescribing this therapy by gynecologist.

Letrozole versus Gonadotropin in Unexplained Infertile Couples Failed to Conceive with Clomiphene Citrate

Background:?Unexplained infertility represents about 15% - 20% of infertile couples. Usually, these cases need assistance. Clomiphene citrate is the most used drug for this problem but sometimes pregnancy failed to achieve it, so other options for assistance are gonadotrophin or letrezole. The objective of our study was to compare the pregnancy rate for letrezole and gonadotropin inunexplained infertile women’s who failed to conceive with clomiphene citrate. Methods: This prospective quasi-randomized trial was carried out in cytogenetic unite at obstetrics and gynecology department, Zagazig University Hospital. 140 infertile females were included, induction of ovulation by letrozole for half of them and by gonadotrophin for the other half. Results: There was statistically highly significant decrease in duration of stimulation, E2 levels and endometrial thickness at day of HCG in letrezole group, no significant difference between two groups as regard number of follicles and pregnancy rate per cycle, while the cumulative pregnancy rate and the cost of stimulation are significantly higher in gonadotrophin group. Conclusion: In patient with unexplained infertility who failed to conceive with clomiphene citrate, gonadotrophins have a higher pregnancy rate than letrezole. However, pregnancy rate was high enough with lower cost with letrezole to be acceptable and justified its use in this group of patients.

The advantage of low-dose clomiphene citrate for overweight women with anovulation

Background:To investigate the potential advantage of using low-dose clomiphene citrate to promote ovulation in women with overweight or obesity.Methods:The patients with overweight were divided randomly into regular clomiphene citrate group(clomiphene citrate 50 mg/d,n=83)and low-dose clomiphene citrate group(clomiphene citrate 25 mg/d,n=105).All patients received treatment from the 5th day of their menstrual cycles.Results:Luteinizing hormone levels and estradiol levels were more increased in the low-dose group compared with the regular group(P<0.05).Low-dose group showed significantly thicker endometrium,fewer dosage and shorter days of human menopausal gonadotropin,less numbers of mature follicles and lower rates of cancellation(P<0.05)on human chorionic gonadotropin day.After human chorionic gonadotropin injection,the ovulation rate in the low-dose group was significantly higher than the regular group(P<0.05).No difference was detected in the biochemical pregnancy rates both groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:The low-dose clomiphene citrate treatment significantly reduced the number of mature follicles and increased the thickness of endometrium on the human chorionic gonadotropin day with less side effects.The low-dose clomiphene citrate also achieved the better ovulation rate.

Study of Combined Use of Clomiphene Citrate and Gonadotropins on the Infertile Patients with PCOS

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of combined use of clomiphene citrate （CC） and gonadotropins （Gn） on the infertile patients with PCOS. Methods A total of 367 infertile patients with PCOS were included in this retrospective study. Patients received CC from menstrual cycle day 3 until the day of triggering and human menopausal gonadotrophins （hMG） from menstrual cycle day 5 until the ovulation day. Gn duration and doses, serum LH and estradiol levels, transferable embryos, incidence of OHSS, frozen-thawed embryo implantation and clinical pregnancy rates were compared among CC plus hMG, long and short protocols. Results Gn duration and doses, blood estrogen level transferable embryos and incidence of OHSS in the group of CC plus hMG were decreased significantly than those of long and short protocols. No differences were observed in the frozen-thawed embryo implantation and clinical pregnancy rates among three groups. Conclusion Mild stimulation of CC combined with hMG on infertile patients with high risk for OHSS is safe and efficient.

Clomiphene Citrate as An Adjuvant to hMG Stimulation of the Ovaries in Mid-to-late Follicular Phase and Subsequently Pregnancy Outcome of Frozen-thawed Embryo Transfers

Objective To compare the results of a novel regimen of human menopausal gonadotrophin （hMG） in combination with clomiphene citrate （CC） in mid-to-late follicular phase with those of a short protocol of GnRH agonist （GnRHa） and hMG used for IVF. Methods In the retrospective study, 842 patients undergoing IVF were collected and classified into two groups： hMG in combination with CC in mid-to-late follicular phase （group A, n=319） and short protocol of GnRHa-hMG （group B, n=523）. The main outcome measures were ovarian responses in stimulation cycles and pregnancy outcomes in subsequent frozen-thawed embryo transfer （FET） cycles. Results In group A, the serum LH concentration on day 8 -10 was similar with that on the day of hCG administration （2.43 ± 1.92 IU vs 2.51 ±2.05 IU）. The number of mature follicles and oocytes retrieved was significantly lower in group A than in group B while the fertilization rate and the cleavage rate were comparable. The clinical pregnancy rate （47. 79% vs 48.04%）, the implantation rate （32.49% vs 33.11%） and the cumulative pregnancy rate （58.09% vs 60.22%） were respectively similar in group A and group B. Conclusion hMG in combination with CC in mid-to-late follicular phase results in the same pregnancy outcome as short protocol. The novel protocol may take the advantage of eliminating the occurrehce of a premature endogenous LH Surge.

Clomiphene Citrate or Medroxyprogesterone Acetate with Human Menopausal Gonadotropin in Poor Responders during In vitro Fertilization/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Treatments Combined with Embryo Cryopreservation?

Objective:This study aimed to compare the efficacy of clomiphene citrate(CC)with human menopausal gonadotropin(hMG)and that of medroxyprogesterone acetate(MPA)with hMG in poor responders defined according to the Bologna criteria.Methods:The data of patients with poor ovarian response(POR)according to the Bologna criteria from September 2016 to November 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.All participants received either CC+hMG or the progesterone-primed ovarian stimulation protocol(PPOS)protocol.Results:A total of 340 patients and 563 in vitro fertilization cycles were analyzed in this study.The incidence of spontaneous luteinizing hormone(LH)surge and the mean LH level on trigger day were significantly lower in the PPOS group than in the CC+HMG group(0.04%vs.3.49%and 4.26±3.59 vs.9.38±6.92 mIU/mL,respectively,P<0.05);however,the incidence of premature ovulation was similar between the two groups.The number of viable embryos harvested was not statistically different between the two groups(1.7±1.1 vs.1.5±0.8,P=0.06).The mean dose and duration of hMG were significantly higher in the PPOS group than in the CC+hMG group(908.7±556.6 vs.177.9±214.5 IU and 6.0±3.4 vs.1.2±1.5 days,respectively,P<0.05).However,the number of oocytes retrieved,number of metaphase II oocytes,and fertilization rate were comparable between the two groups.Conclusions:The CC with low-dose gonadotropin strategy was superior to the MPA with hMG protocol for POR.

Effects of the Interval between Ovulation Induction using Clomiphene Citrate and Frozen Embryo Transfer on Pregnancy Outcome

Objective:To explore the best timing for frozen embryo transfer(FET)after ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval using the clomiphene citrate(CC)+human menopausal gonadotropin(hMG)ovulation induction regimen through a retrospective analysis.Methods:Data of patients who underwent CC+hMG ovulation induction and FET from January 2014 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were divided into three groups according to the interval from egg retrieval to FET:CC1(within 1 menstrual cycle),CC2(2 menstrual cycles),and CC3(≥3 menstrual cycles).Indicators such as hormone levels and pregnancy outcomes were recorded to explore the effect of different intervals on pregnancy outcome.Results:A total of 1,082 transfer cycles were included in this retrospective analysis.The implantation,clinical pregnancy,and live birth rates in the CC1 group were significantly lower than those in the CC2 and CC3 groups(P<0.05).The E2/P4 ratio on progesterone injection day(3 days before thawed embryo transfer)was lower in the CC1 group than in the other groups(P<0.05).After adjusting for all factors using multifactor regression analysis,the interval between egg retrieval and FET was found to be an independent predictor of the implantation,pregnancy,and live birth rates.Conclusion:An interval of more than one menstrual cycle between the day of egg retrieval after ovarian stimulation with the CC+hMG ovulation induction regimen and the day of FET can result in high implantation,clinical pregnancy,and live birth rates,which can lead to an improved pregnancy outcome.
